Take it in your own hands and chill out! (3,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
get a grip
'your own hands and chill out' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'take it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'take' could be 'get' (synonyms) and 'get' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
